Not sure how it works now. Does that mean there'll be no Welsh region in the Heineken next year?Certainly makes it more exciting to finally have a competitive league.

Ospreys and Scarlets are holding a playoff for the last spot.

Indeed. Been a funny old year for the Welsh regions. As pointed out, the Ospreys finished on more points than Traviso (in the opposite conference), and Cardiff managed to lose all their first 3 games, while leading into the 80th minute. In another year, with the odd bounce of the ball going the other way, Wales would have had 3 odd teams in the playoffs. It is what it is though.

Anywho, I was saying from the get-go this season that Treviso looked a bit of alright. Particularly, they have a seriously meaty pack.
